He Did the Music.
HArperls MoeklY.

Many years ago, said a newspaper man
to me, when the New York Herald was
personally conducted by James Gordon
Bennett, a young Irishman brought to
the great editor letter of introduction
from an old friend in New Orleans. The
letter asked Mr.. Bennett to give "ths lad''
something to do on the paper.
The "old man" read the letter looked
at the awkward youth and said,
Have you ever had any experience in
newspaper work.
ono, SIR
ever tried your hand at wrtiugy
mo, sir"
"What g your liner Do you know any
thing about anything in partienlarY'
"No, SIR
"Ah, yes. Well, Mr.. Hudson, ! guess
you'd better let him do the music"
And he did the music for may a
year.

VILE Geese ATTACK A kit.

A harrow shaped flock of wild geese, the
Waterbury, Conn, American says, went
northward over the city recently. They
seemed to attend sharply to the business
of travelling until they spied one of the
numerous kites the boys in the northern
portion of the city were flying. The kite
was uncommonly high in the air and the
geese objected to it. At least they circled
about it two or three timts, and then four
of their number, seemingly delegated for
the purpose, attacked the kite and tore it
into shrsds and went on their way.

summer shoes were put on the horses in
March and the company got caught. We
had lot of slippery weather after that
and it pulled the flesh right OFF the horses.
The company is pretty lucky with its
horses aud doesn't have TO kill more than
two or three every year. ! have known
years when not more than one horse was
killed. The fact is, the health of the
horse depends altogether on the of a

spoonfuls -four, one tablespoonful salt
and two eggs together. Pour in one
quart hot milk; cook twenty minutes;
cool; add one quart cream aud two table
spoonfuls vanilla. Freeze.
Drop the egg into the sugar and flavor
and stir well together. When the quart
of milk is hot pour over the egg, -four
and sugar, and then return to the fire in
the double boiler and cook for twenty
minutes.
More eggs and flour are sometimes
used, making perfect custard, but this
should be called frozen custard, and not
ice cream.
If this custard curdles little it is no
matter as it will come out all right when
strained. Pack, using three measures of
ice to one of salt, and turn slowly at first,
then rapidly. When it has begun to
freeze take of the cover occasionally
and scrape the cream down from the
sides of the can, so it will freeze smooth
ly and evenly
POrfED PIGEONS.
Clean, wash and truss. Season with salt,
pepper and -four, and brown in salt pork
fat. Put them into a stewpan, cover
with hot water, add one onion cut fine,
one bay leaf one sprig parsley and one
slice carrot, Simmer until tender. Take
out the pigeons, remove the strings and
thicken with -four and butter cooked to-
gether. Strain over the pigeons and
serve.
About an hour and three quarters will
be necessary to cook the pigeons usually,
though it depends on the quality of the
birds.
MAYoNNAIsE DRESSING.
Half teaspconful mustard, half-tea-
spoonful powdered sugar, one saltspoon
salt, and a few grains of cayenne mixed
together, and yolk of one raw egg, mix
well; add the oil, drop by drop, until very
thick; thin with little lemon Juice and
vinegar, continue until the oil is all used
lone pint.
This is the same as the famous Parker
House dressing with the exception of the
fact that at the Parker House they add
all the vinegar at the last. If the dress
ing curdles, take the fresh yolk of an egg
and vinegar. 1t is well to have the oil
very cold.
An egg beater may be used instead of
spoon if desired, and is much easier. The
testimony of one good housekeeper who
heard this lecture was to the effect that
in six years of housekeeping she had al
ways used the egg heater for mayor
naise dressing, and had never had it cur
dle in fact, she was surprised to hear
that it ever did so.
No rule can be given for the vinegar
and lemon Juice. The direc lions say q
tablespoonful each, but these can never
all be added, as it Will usually make the
dressing too thin.
RUSSIAN SALAD (vEGETABLE.)
This is made entirely of vegetables, let
tuce, sliced cucumbers and tomatoes.
Garnish with parsley.
Arrange the lettuce leaves in cup shapes,
lay slices of cucumbers in them and the
tomato in the centre, then put spoonful
of the dressing on the tomato,
This makes handsome and delicious
salad.

The Dakota Legislature is an anomaly
in politics. Its two houses indulge IN
caucus organizations aud battle therein
with the fiercest valor. But these eau
cuses possess no political significance
and are not organized for partisan pur-
poses. The representatives of the peo-
pie divide upon sectional line, the
forty sixth parallel being the fence
which separates the belligerent forces.
No other caucus test is applied. Those
who enter the charmed circle OF north
ern caucus must certify to residence
north Of the forty sixth parallel or 6e-
clare that their sympathies are with
those who reside north of the forty
sixth parallel. Those admitted TO @
southern caucus must certify that they
reside south of the forty-sixth parallel
and that they are not tinctured
with northern sympathies. This is the
difference between north and sonth.
There is never suspicion that north
erner will ally himself to the southern
q
that southerner may 60 to the solid
north. As the south possesses the
greatest numerical strength. the law OF
universal compensation applies in be-
half Of the lesser half and asserts itself
through the individual weaknesses OF
the south. There is in the calculations
OF the present further nominal divis-
ion Of forces under what is desig.
nated as the central Dakota element
But this so.called central Dakota has its
geographical lines entirely south Of the
forty-sixth parallel and is therefore q
part OF the south, though alienated under
the shfewd manipulation of the golid
north to serve the purposes OF the
weaker half. IT there was any real
sincerity in the central Dakota division
OF sections those who are engineering
the delueion would permit it to extend
northward from the forty-sixth parable
into the domain Of the solid north. But
1t is the intent OF the north to gail
through this diversion all the strength
attainable without surrenderIng any o
its strength to those whom 1t employ
to carry out its sectional purposes. Whil
holding itself compactly together, th
solid north plays upon the central Dako
lta string and reaches further into tn
! south after those stray brethren who's
cupidity, corruption, lack OF eectiona
